An essential in making great paella, pearl-shaped bomba rice absorbs both broth and flavor easily without risk of turning to mush. This bomba rice by Tartana, made in Spain, cooks up tender yet firm, with a sweet, rich flavor that pairs beautifully with aromatic saffron, heavier proteins and bright vegetables. And though less creamy than other paella rice varieties, it’s a great beginner paella grain, thanks to the short grain and starchy structure—which makes it much harder to overcook.
Loaded with seafood, scented with pricy saffron and served as an event in and of itself, paella today is considered a luxury. Its beginnings, however, are more humble. The one-pan rice-based dish was prepared by Valencian farm workers as a midday meal, and it often included rabbit, snails, artichokes, rosemary and a variety of beans—essentially ingredients that were easily available in the fields.
